Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

In the randomized-response model, the probability of the sensitive question asked is known. This probability is determined by the proportion of the total number of questions that are sensitive. The randomized-response model is designed to protect the privacy of respondents who may be unwilling to answer sensitive questions. It uses a randomization process to mask the true answer of the respondent, making it difficult for the interviewer to determine which question the respondent is answering. The model requires sophisticated statistical analysis to obtain meaningful results. However, the particular question asked is selected at random, and the interviewer does not know which question the respondent is answering. Finally, the probability of the "innocuous" event occurring is also known.
